We are pleased to advise that, based on an update received today, four
AS-legal dog ring gearsets for the Auto Gear 'Syracuse' four-speed will
ship from Italy before August 1. Two are ear-marked already, two more are still available.

It's not an entirely new gearbox (yet). There is a new case that should
appear at the same time, much stronger and with a countershaft rear
thrust bearing, but it can be considered an upgrade as the dog ring
mainshaft assembly will assemble in our current case. Externally it
will be identical to the current 'Syracuse' (which will also get the new
case, without the rear thrust bearing). Shift throw will be the identifier.

Only the AS ratios to start, but eventually we should have all 36
gearsets. Regarding GT cars, we're also working on a 1.90 low gear for
both synchro (R Series) and dog ring (V Series) gearboxes.
